Irene Kush

This indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) produces super-dense, round buds caked in orange pistils and layers of trichomes. There’s a strong diesel scent on this cannabis plant, with notes of evergreen and pine.

The smoke from Irene Kush tastes sour and rubbery, with traces of burnt wood.

Lab tests show it can reach as high as 22% THC. The high from this strain hits high and it hits fast, and it spreads between the mind and body equally. Some have recommended this as a good strain for debilitating conditions or chronic pain, while remaining functional and clear while experiencing some numbness in the muscles. The buzz lasts a long time, too, so plan accordingly.

Side effects include red eyes and cottonmouth with Irene Kush.

Although its origin is a bit of mystery, Irene Kush is believed to have originated in the US Deep South, with OG Kush somewhere in its lineage.
